If you’re into good food and fine wines, you would know that the World Gourmet Summit has been running for some time now. The culinary festival, now in its 23rd edition, focuses on sustainability this year, highlighting food waste management and plastic use reduction.

From 1 April – 12 May 2019, you can look forward to a line-up of celebrated chefs from all corners of the globe. They’ll be showcasing fresh premium ingredients and whipping up meals in masterclasses and curated dining experiences.

We were there for the Summit’s opening reception recently and got a sneak peek of the delectable spread of cuisines on offer.

From The Sampan, a newly-opened restaurant that prides itself on local flavours, we tried the Salmon Soba Noodles. This had a refreshing and light layer of sesame oil that brightened up the entire dish.

The soba noodles were soft and chewy, and I managed to taste all the different flavours in one bite of this mini dish.

The Open Farm Community was also present, and I really enjoyed the Banana Tamarind Crème Brulee from them. While the crust was admittedly a little on the dry side, the sweet and floral banana flavours actually paired with the herbs and subtle spiciness of tamarind really well.

There were also booths serving up foods from all corners of the world.

I was able to sample a kebab from the Caribbean, which was interesting because it wasn’t overly meaty, yet still managed to pack in quite some flavour.

From Europe, we had a cold cut platter sourced from the finest butcheries in various countries. There was also what seemed to be miniature croquettes, but these were actually clotted cheese panna cottas with soft, chewy centres.

The World Gourmet Summit’s opening ceremony has taught me that all the participating restaurants here are more than willing to be on the cutting edge of gastronomy, and to explore new and exciting flavours. If you’re a lover of fine foods, this is the place you’ll want to be.
